Nice. I found some nice GT500 takeoffs that are in the mail now. Ordering pads from Vorshlag soon.

I understand this. I haven’t actually listed my Bullitts for sale yet... I’d love to find something equivalent that would fit over the Brembos.

As others have said, this is easy/cheap to do. Honestly, though... It ended up being an “appearance mod” for me, as I haven’t tracked the car. If you want a larger rotor, this does give you that. But if you are open to holding out for an actual Brembo upgrade, you’ll save yourself...

First, thanks for responding, and also thank you for the years long S197 build thread. Scout’s honor, I’ve read through it fully twice over the last few years. On my parts, I’ll admit: I know. Some of the stuff was the ‘best value’ I could get long before I knew anything at all besides...

I think I understand what your saying here... Basically, it is difficult to overpower the suspension/brakes on a 4.6? I’m not familiar with how you use the term “momentum.” I appreciate your patience... Though I read through the Vorshlag development thread fully twice over the last couple...

Thanks for the responses. I’ll take the recommendation on the rear brakes, and try out the better pads first. And the harness/neck brace is something I had not thought of, but definitely should have. On the 06 coupes, there was no brace, so Steeda’s G-trac essentially provides what later...

I saw another critique my setup thread and thought I’d see what feedback the more experienced here could provide. I have an 06 GT coupe with 130,000 miles (85,000 mine, this was my daily from 2011-2016)... Installed: Adjustable panhard bar LCA and relocation brackets UCA Eibach pro-kit springs...

OX1, you said this guy jerked you around when you tried to return?

I appreciate the detailed input received here. I have a return label and will be sending these back. Rather than seek takeoffs, I do plan to simply order these from Tasca. With that said, does anyone have part numbers for the hardware (bolts, etc) that will be needed? On the S550 Brembo...

Thanks guys

I have both. The Boss 302 would not fit my old aftermarket (HEAVY) hood, so I got a used 12 GT brace and powdercoated it. Life happened, never got it installed. Now, I picked up and am venting an OEM hood, with a plan to do some other aero and track it. So here’s the question: Is the Boss...

I appreciate the input from everyone. I’ve been busy for work and have not yet returned these, but did send a message to the seller after one of the earlier responses here. Here’s the response:

That... is disconcerting. I have no desire to put fakes on a car I intend to drive hard. Did you get anything back? How long ago?

First post here; I thought I joined years ago, but apparently never did. Finally getting around to some some brake upgrades I’ve been piecing together for about three years... But, I wanted to run this by more experienced people. These are the calipers I purchased...
